Dear Colleauges, Two weeks ago I mailed the following query to LINGUIST: I am looking for general materials related to India's contribution to the study of language. So far I have found one book carrying the above-mentioned title, namely "The Word and the World : India's contribution to ..." by the late Prof. B. K. Matilal. Is this book accessible on the net in any readable form(abstract, or summary, etc., etc.)? I would be extremely grateful for any other valuable links to relevant websites. Overall, I have received four replies to my query and I wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to: Theriault Alain <theriaal@ERE.UMontreal.CA>, who suggested approaching Prof. Rajendra Singh from Universite de Montreal Shravan Vasishth <vasishth@ling.ohio-state.edu>, who wishes to elaborate upon the subject in one of the future projects. MARK DE VOS <mdevos@cis.co.za> Shikaripur N Sridhar <SSRIDHAR@ccmail.sunysb.edu>, who both have suggested the following bibliographical items related to the field: 1. Fritz Stall.
